Percy Shelley. The uncredited co-author of Frankenstein! He was said to have been extremely proud of the now extremely rare 1821 Frankenstein published in Paris which plays heavily on the influence of Shelley’s St. Irvyne and Zastrozzi with alchemy and black magic having been responsible for the creation of the monster. The 1821 Frankenstein was also the first to attribute Mary Shelley as the author of the work and the only such edition to do so during the lifetime of the books co-author - Percy Shelley. It would be nice to see the book being exhibited next summer to mark its 200th anniversary
Is it ethical to charge such a goforsaken amount for this sham of a course?
reply pasted above
Also, what do you thinking about Percy Shelley's involvement withing Mary Shelley's work? Could you read it as her work being undermined and changed by man?
fathia begum ?? Every element and conceptual ideal intrinsic to the writing of Frankenstein belonged to Percy Shelley where he was was similarly responsible for the preface of the 1818 text and rightfully deserves to be attributed as the co-author of Frankenstein being his third work of gothic horror
Did you come across Mary Shelley's hand within Percy's writing?
Very impressive. Thanks a lot for this interesting item.
